Just to clarify, I completed understand what you're trying to demonstrate with trigonometry, but that's not what I'm saying. Here's my point: The max. descent rate is not the same.The descent rate is faster when applying throttle because your drone is avoiding prop wash when descending Here's...

The descent rate is not the same. DJI have deliberately implemented firmware that restricts the vertical rate of descent of DJI drones to avoid prop wash. Please refer to my previous comment: Is there a way to get my Mavic 2 Pro to come down faster?

That's because Kilrah is incorrect. Your observation is completely correct.

DJI has implemented firmware that limits the speed at which drones descend because of 'prop wash'. Basically when you're lowering your altitude in a straight vertical line, your drone is descending into the current of air that your propellors are creating, causing general instability and...

Thanks for the response! I wouldn't strictly agree with the driving analogy as I've passed my flight assessment, but I understand the principle. My logic is that I'm legally allowed to fly, and undertaking the flight safely. The only catch is that it's for commercial purposes, rather than...

Hey all, I've passed my necessary assessments to apply for a PfCO, and submitted my Operations Manual to the CAA (UK) with relevant insurance. I've got a commercial job coming up in the next few days, which require some drone footage. I've double checked with the nearby ATC (because it's in a...

I've just bought a PolarPro ND, and was also finding it difficult to install by hand. I opted to use the tool to install it, which worked a charm. My guess is that you have to make sure that you're pushing firmly down on the camera when twisting.
